Blair North Project

Kalgoorlie, W.A.

Project Highlights

Gold Exploration in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia

The Blair North Project is located only 25km east of Kalgoorlie, surrounded by established operations and gold deposits.

Recent drilling results include:

  • 5.9m @ 6.7 g/t Au from 244.4m
  • 2.5m @ 7.4 g/t Au from 255.4m
  • 2m @ 2.5 g/t Au from 105m
  • 6m @ 1.6g/t Au from 40m

Project Location & Background

The Blair North Project (formerly the Berehaven Project) sits ~20 km southeast of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, within a prolific gold and nickel district rich in existing infrastructure.

The project has been explored recently by Metal Hawk Limited who successfully identified nickel sulphide and primary gold mineralisation at the Commodore and Commodore North prospects.

The project offers drill-ready targets along strike and at depth at the Commodore prospects, in addition to numerous other untested targets currently being reviewed.

Blair North Gold Mineralisation

Primary Gold Mineralisation at Blair North

The Commodore prospect initially made headlines in 2021, where reverse circulation drilling intersected4 1 m @ 5.9% Ni from 144 m, an early demonstration of komatiite-hosted nickel sulphide potential at the project.

Subsequent diamond drilling targeted deeper footwall zones and hit significant high-grade gold ~40m below the nickel zone, returning4 5.9 m @ 6.7 g/t Au from 244m (see Figure 7).

Subsequent limited drilling at Commodore intersected additional zones of gold mineralisation and additional follow-up work is warranted. Best assay results from drilling at Commodore include:

  • BVD001
    • 5.9m @ 6.7g/t Au from 244m, and
    • 3.4m @ 2.3% Ni from 203.8m
  • BVD007
    • 2.5m @ 7.4g/t Au from 255.4m, including
    • 0.37m @ 38.5g/t Au from 257.5m
  • BVNCD002
    • 1m @ 5.9% Ni from 144m, and
    • 1.4m @ 4.1g/t Au from 223.1m
  • BVD004
    • 1.3m @ 3.6g/t Au from 343m

 

In May 2024, Metal Hawk drilled one RC hole (BVNC065) at Commodore North, ~500 m north of Commodore along the same stratigraphic trend, targeting an end of hole AC anomaly.

Drilling intersected gold associated with quartz veining within deeply weathered rocks. Results from BVNC065 included6 8m @ 0.96g/t Au from 74m, 2m @ 1.31g/t Au from 88m and 4m @ 1.69g/t Au from 96m.

Follow-up RC drilling in June 2024 (six holes for 813 m) returned further zones of gold mineralisation, including7:

 

  • BVNC066
    • 6 m @ 1.6 g/t Au from 40m
  • BVNC067
    • 2 m @ 2.5 g/t Au from 105m
  • BVNC069
    • 3 m @ 1.4 g/t Au from 92m

 

The quartz vein-hosted mineralisation at Commodore North is open along strike and at depth, and Mount Burgess is planning to undertake further RC drilling in order to target additional zones of high-grade gold mineralisation along the Commodore trend.
